Cast Your Vote : Stand Up and be Counted!


Everyday Christians are finding it increasingly difficult to openly express their faith.

The National Secular Society has encouraged 100,000 people to sign a certificate to “de-baptise” themselves as part of their campaign to allow people to revoke their baptisms.

Premier Christian Media are asking....are there 100,000 people who are prepared to publicly stand up and declare that they are Christians?

Premier’s “I am a Christian” campaign is asking you to take this opportunity to publicly affirm your faith and declare that Jesus is relevant to your everyday life.

Make your declaration today and join together with thousands of other Christians around the world. Click here to sign up.

Only the foolish or the ignorant person would dare to suggest that the UK is a Christian country these days. Of course there are hundreds of thousands of people who claim to be Christian, yet many of them are not even prepared to display the basics of their belief by attending a church, using an ever-increasing variety of reasons/excuses for this. The BBC are perhaps more openly Anti-Christian than much of the remaining Media, but then when one considers that they are the bed-fellow of the government then it's not a bit surprising. Throughout the Media there tends to be a definite anti-Christian slant, and the problem is increasing to the point that Christians are fast in danger of becoming the Persecuted Church in the UK.
.
New laws are enacted which make it more and more difficult to practise your Christian faith without being questioned for doing so, and these laws marginalise those who dare to oppose them, ridiculing them for their belief. In short, not only the Media but also the Government tend to show bias against Christians and Christianity.
.
Is this surprising? No, of course not! After all, if, as many believe, we are at the beginning of the end times, then everything that is currently happening is pretty well as predicted in Holy Scripture. We have wars in many parts of the world,and the numbers are increasing rather than diminishing. We have violence and anarchy on our own streets, and it's getting worse rather than better. Respect for the Police is at an all-time low, and is not helped by the thuggery of some officers such as that seen in recent times at demonstrations such as the Countryside Alliance March and the recent G20 Summit.
.
We live in a country where many live increasingly Godless lives, where materialism rules, where greed is an everyday factor, where it is considered wise to help oneself and yet foolish to consider the feelings of others as you do so. The current economic troubles are, I firmly believe, an example of God's wrath being poured out onto the world.
.
The attitudes that prevail have grown because there is a surfeit of wealth in many nations, and the populace have been misled into believing that it is that, and that alone, that will bring them happiness.
.
Every true Christian needs to be prepared to stand up and be counted! The opportunity to register yourself online on the Premier Christian Media census is an important one, for if an overwhelming number of people sign up then it will tell us that there is at least some hope for our nation and our world. However, if people are too apathetic to be bothered then it will send the opposite message altogether. A lack of support for this project would be taken as a passive support for the aims of the National Secular Society.
.
Jesus stated quite clearly that if you are not for Him then you are against Him. So, where do you stand? Are you FOR HIM or are you AGAINST HIM? Make no mistake about it, there is no middle ground. You must be either one or the other.
.
Let us show the world that we are not ashamed to own our Lord! Let us aim, not for 100,000 signatures, but for
ONE MILLION!
